Fr. John ,
We have fond memories of you from our visit to New York, Nannie often talks about you. Also fond memories of many years ago when you visited the Newtownmanor area and said Mass. We prayed for you in that same church last Sunday. May you rest in peace and watch over us always,
Love always,
Annie and your Irish cousins

My dear Fr. Comiskey,
